Tax Manager

Join us as a Tax Manager and become the right hand of Qonto's Head of Tax as we transition to a regulated financial institution. You'll own day-to-day tax management across France and internationally — corporate tax, financial services taxation, VAT, product tax, and multi-jurisdiction taxation and compliance — and become the internal reference on the topics that matter most as Qonto's tax footprint scales.

• Participate to the tax strategy set-up — identify and implement tax opportunities, ensure correct tax treatment is applied across the group, ensure the organizational set-up remains in line with the tax strategy.

• Own product tax analysis — define applicable taxes treatment and reporting obligations for Qonto new products in France and abroad, and build the client-facing tax information that goes with it.
• Manage transfer pricing requirements, documentation, reporting and computation across the group.
• Be the bridge between tax and the rest of the company — work with Finance, Accounting, Product, and Legal teams; represent Qonto with tax authorities; manage external advisor relationships.
